9. The proposed side lot lines are at right angles to the existing road line and the property line of the adjacent property. io. Each of the proposed parcels contains more than 33-feet of frontage on public right-of-way. ii. Each of the proposed properties meets the requirements of the code for stromwater management. 12. There are no public streets proposed within the development. Planning Commission Direction: The Planning Commission can approve of the metes and bounds subdivision, deny the metes and bounds subdivision, or table the request if additional information is needed. If the motion is for approval or denial, findings of fact should be cited. Staff Recommendation: The current configuration of the property is unique for multiple reasons. The property is divided by a public roadway and it also contains multiple"island parcels"that are owned by different property owners. The proposed subdivision (and rezones) "clean-up" some of the issues with the subject property. We recommend the proposed subdivision be approved only if the proposed rezoning(Application 13-4187)of the property is approved by the City Council. *It should be noted the original subdivision and rezoning applications for the subject property contained only two parcels. "Tract B" and the "Remainder Tract" were combined as one io acre parcel with two zoning classifications (Rural Residential and Commercial). Staff recommended to the property owner that in order to resolve some of the issues with the property, those two parcels should be separate. Staff informed the property owner it would be difficult for the City to approve a newly created single lot with two zoning classifications and with a public road dividing it. We informed the property owner the suggested configuration may be achieved via the metes and bounds subdivision process with approval from the Planning Commission.
